Minicoach Hire for Groups of 9 to 16
Our 9 to 16 seat minicoach carries groups from nine passengers up to sixteen, air conditioned, with proper luggage capacity underneath. It is the vehicle for a sports team, a wedding party, a school or club outing, or a large family group, and it is booked as a single vehicle rather than a fleet of cars.

Common questions about our 9-16 seat minicoach service in Southampton.
The largest of our minicoaches carries up to 16 passengers plus the driver, and smaller layouts start at nine. We will confirm the exact seat count on the booking, because it depends on which vehicle is allocated and whether any seats are removed for equipment.
A full 16-seater carries roughly 16 hold cases in the rear racks, which is about one large case per passenger. If your group has sports kit, instruments or pushchairs on top of the bags, tell us and we will check the luggage bay against the load.
Yes, day hire is the most common arrangement for outings and it includes waiting time at your destinations, so you are not paying by the hour or watching the clock at a theme park. Send us the itinerary and we will price the day.
Yes, all of our minicoaches are air conditioned with ducted vents to the rear rows, which matters for a group on a warm day and for long journeys in summer traffic.
Yes, tell us what you are carrying and how much of it, and we will make sure the luggage bay has room for it. Football teams, golf societies and orchestras have all been carried, and on some occasions we have needed to send a second vehicle rather than squeeze the load in.
Not in the standard minicoach, because there is no lift or ramp fitted. If your group includes a wheelchair user, ask for our wheelchair accessible taxi for that passenger and we will put the rest of the group in a separate minicoach, timed to arrive together.
